"Read your update Gail. Sounds like a plan and a Miata too huh? Congrats on the award and the new position. LOL Been a slow winter here. In the process of buying a house so most funding is going there, although I will be setting just a little aside…"
"Oh, BTW, do you know that your "phd" site is not working?"
"Hi Terry!
Had a great time! Definitely worth it.
I will speak to you at some point to get more info on SCCA.
I used to be licensed through the Fairfield County Sports Car club and did some AutoX back about 10 - 12 years ago. Didn't do to badly until…"

"I'll give you a buzz then. I am attending a Jaguar TDS Rallye in eastern CT on the weekend of May 2nd however, I will pick your brain about a membership into SCCA.
Thanx!"
Thanx!"
"Thank you Terry! Sounds rather appealing.. Much comfier than the air mattress in the back of my Land Cruiser. I'll be up there this weekend for the launch/luncheon of the righthanders club. I may stop by and say hi and check out the Bunkhouse out…"
"Great! Which car will you have?
I'll have the green XJ40, with a couple of spots of primer. Is it pretty self explanatory where in the park everyone is meeting? Signs, etc?
Thanx!

"Hi Dennis,
the hooks you speak of are the hood latches. You pull back and twist on each one and they release the hood. Then, you must lift the hood forward, up and away from firewall."

"Hi Renea,
I'm getting back in initially as a spectator. Someone just gave me a 1977 Jag XJ6L. (as with most Jags that have sit for a bit, it neds quite a bit of work) Not sure I'll take that vintage racing or not, but I have seen that several clubs…"

"Thanx Mike! Although not new to the fab/rebuild hobby, I am new to Jags and things British (well, an ex gf was really into Land Rovers.. not sure if that counts..LOL) Its nice to see that everything thats rusty on my Jag is an easily sourced part.

I have been involved in the 4WD community for over 20…"

"I have been given a 1974 XJ6L. I have been doing a bunch of research to find out what to look for as for problems, etc. This car hasn't moved in possibly 15 years. It was under a tarp in the woman's back driveway. In looking at it, it seems pretty…"
"Thanx for the welcome. Been leaning more and more back to my roots so to speak. Several years back I raced SCCA Autocross but I have always loved the vintage stuff. I am picking up a 74 Jaguar XJ6L this weekend. The owner is actually giving it to…"

Glad to hear from such a long-standing fan. Are you getting back into vintage racing? If so, you must inquire about our Vintage Festival on Labor Day weekend. You can send an email to vintagefestival@limerock.com with all your information. Murray Smith is the co-chairman of the event now and he would be happy to speak with you.
Also, you must join the Lime Rock Park Group. You can join by clicking here:

Look forward to having you at the track again this year!
Best,
Renea
Good luck with the project.
The various Vintage Racing clubs have different cut off dates for "vintage. Some are 1972; 1980 and/or race what you brought.
Check the map on www.myvrl.com for the club nearest you and call to discuss your car before you begin to spend money.
Good luck - Stephen
